Patriots Place Rookie LT Will Campbell on IR After Knee Injury

The designation makes him eligible to return only for the Week 18 finale against the Dolphins.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Vrabel announced the move and said cornerback Miles Battle was signed to the 53-man roster.
  • Campbell is believed to have an MCL sprain in his right knee, with reporting and a specialist estimating roughly a 4-to-7 week recovery depending on severity.
  • Vederian Lowe will start at left tackle with rookie Marcus Bryant as the top backup, while Ben Brown is next up at left guard.
  • Jared Wilson sustained a high-ankle sprain and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Giants, with his timeline beyond this week still to be determined.
  • New England’s next four games span the Giants, a bye, the Bills, the Ravens and the Jets, a stretch the 10-2 Patriots enter without their No. 4 overall pick.
